RESUMEN
A middle-aged lady presented with headache, vomiting of sudden-onset with intermittent evening rise of temperature. She also had slurring of speech with no loss of consciousness or altered sensorium. The patient was under evaluation for hypercalcemia. A whole body bone scan was done to look for causes of hypercalcemia and the scan showed extraosseous 99m Tc MDP (Technetium Methylene Di Phosphonate) uptake. One of the causes of extraosseous MDP uptake is cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). On close interrogation the patient gave a history of hypopigmented dermal patches for more than 2 years duration. The coexisting dermal patches raised suspicion of CTCL. Skin biopsy confirmed CTCL. The patient was referred to oncology and was planned for six cycles of chemotherapy.

An asymptomatic issueless young staff nurse underwent pre-employment health screening and USG abdomen showed multiple hypodense lesions in liver. Further screening with whole body positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scan showed significantly FDG avid mass involving most of the right lobe of liver with multiple large FDG avid lymph nodal metastases. Unsuspected focal abnormal, FDG avid, hyperdense mural nodule was seen in uterus, which is the site of primary.
